Can you imagine any greater thing

than to have communion with God himself,

and to be wholly absorbed by him ?

With prayer, we do have the opportunity for grace to enter us.  In prayer, we are reminded that a likeness of God may be found deeply inside us, and that we are always with the Divine and Holy Spirit.  There is no separation between us and God; only in our own sin and error, and forgetfullness.  Prayer restores this inseparable connection.
